Hello, I’m Zoe. I am a play and creative arts therapist based in Peterborough and I see children from 3 to 16. Do you know a child with big emotions? Are these emotions hard to manage? Play therapy can help children process their emotions and make sense of their worlds. I also offer parenting support. I know how hard parenting can be and I’m passionate about offering a holistic service. I am an advocate of therapeutic parenting, playful parenting and attachment play. I like to work with parents to help support the therapeutic process and provide ways to foster co-operation, connection and play.

I have been a counsellor/therapist for the last 18 years. I love my work and I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space so that we can work through difficult and sometimes traumatic experiences. My counselling style is varied as it is very much dependent on the individuals or couples needs and concerns. I have felt honoured to work with those who have been my clients. It is a privilege that I don’t take lightly. Meet with me for an introductory consultation and we can discover the best ways to help make the changes needed to help you on your journey.

Are you struggling to cope, have you recently experienced a traumatic event, are you in need of emotional support or are you simply looking to make some significant life changes? Life can throw unexpected challenges at you; short term or long term difficulties and experiences can have an adverse impact on your well-being causing any number of emotional disruptions. Asking for help is the first big step towards recovering and finding the right support for your individual needs is instrumental in working through and alleviating these challenges.

We are all unique and present different ranges of issues requiring highly tailored therapy. As a UKCP accredited, Clinical Integrative Psychotherapist, qualified (with Distinction), at MSc level. I work in a relational/humanistic way, offering myself, my knowledge, and life experience to an extensive range of clients, to encourage growth and healing.

Hi, I'm Craig, a psychotherapist. I provide warm, down-to-earth therapy and have worked with people from all walks of life, in both private practice and charity settings. You may have a specific issue affecting your life, or a vague sense of not feeling right, but want to understand yourself more deeply. As a therapist, my role is not to give advice, but to support you at your pace, in the way that’s best for you. We can talk about anything, I won’t judge you, but I can bring knowledge and experience to help you find your best way through your struggles. Because life is short & struggling emotionally can get in the way of so much.

Is your child having issues at school and at home? School life can be stressful for young people today and even a bright student can struggle at some point in their school career. Slipping grades and behavioral issues may be indicators that your child is facing some social and emotional challenges. Some of these outward and internal personal struggles are a normal part of growing up, especially during adolescence. Sometimes children need some strategies to cope and build self confidence, and an impartial listener who is neither a parent or a teacher!

My name is Peace Anumah and I have been working in the field of mental health since 2004, with over fourteen years experience in the counselling/therapy field.

In my practice, I create a safe space where my clients can feel relaxed and can openly speak, scream, cry, vent and charge forward with fierce determination to a more rewarding life.

My name is Samantha, I offer professional counselling to you at those times of difficulty. Are you feeling low or stressed, anger, guilt, anxiety, depression or panic attacks? Do you feel numb or like you have switched off? You may not understand why you feel the way you do. As your counsellor I will listen closely to you and pick up on your feelings, thoughts and emotions. I will work with you to see the world from your perspective and offer insights that will help us both explore the issue(s) you want to work through. This will be done at a pace that is comfortable for you.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a passion for compassion! I see clients both face to face and online. I read my first degree at Cambridge University, followed by a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the Institute of Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuropsychology in London. Initially trained in CBT, I have since moved over to compassion focused therapy developed by Professor Paul Gilbert. I find it is useful for most clients, with a 90% success rate. With CFT, I can teach you how to balance your mind for the rest of your life.

I never set out to work with a specific kind of person, however, around 70% of my clients tend to be women aged between 30 and 45. They worry, feel stressed and not good enough. They often find themselves saying 'what if' all the time having lost their zest for life without any knowledge of why! It might be triggered by past traumatic events, the challenges of juggling life, family or work. These feelings might be a new, unexplained experience or they may have been around for decades. Does this sound like you? Even if this doesn't, you may be like the other 30% of people I work with, and you matter too!

I am a UKCP Registered Counsellor providing a professional and friendly counselling service in the centre of Stamford for individuals and couples. If you recognise that life has become increasingly difficult and you are struggling to cope or you have long thought about the need to deal with past traumas then counselling could provide a safe space to start that conversation. Counselling can provide a dedicated space where you can take time to focus on you. This time can facilitate reflective exploration of current issues and greater understanding of self and others, these insights can lead to new perspectives and a happier future.

I recognise that at some point, life can be unwieldy and confusing. Counselling provides you with the opportunity for your deepest concerns to be heard with care, support and respect, in a confidential, safe environment. As your counsellor, I listen without preconceptions and together we explore insights that emerge from this self reflection. We work towards resolving past pain and addressing present issues, leading to growth in control, confidence and optimism. I will facilitate your personal journey towards flourishing in your situation, and hope for the future.

Life is tough. The world can be a very harsh and unforgiving place indeed. Above all I work with kindness, acceptance and understanding - successful therapy always depends upon a partnership between you and me, both/all of us working purposefully together to solve the issues that are in your way - let's face it, there is simply not enough of those three qualities around these days. It is never a failure to reach out for help - never. It takes courage. So please reach out: I promise to take your hand, keep you safe, and together we'll walk the path to better days.

Hello, I am Herman Holtzhausen. I practice psychotherapy face to face and online from my rooms in Stamford, Lincolnshire. Are you interested in exploring ways of improving your mental well being? Perhaps you want to address a specific mental health issue that concerns you or you just want to make sense of your life at this point?

I regularly see clients who are suffering from anxiety, sleep problems, chronic pain, weight issues, stress & worries, IBS, fears & phobias, low mood, emotional issues or PTSD/traumatic memories. People work with me when they haven't been able to free themselves of these issues completely, or at least regain the quality of life they want, through their own efforts or with the assistance of other therapies. Often they feel that they are battling with themselves - and what they want is to find a caring & knowledgeable guide who will help them draw on their own inner resources to experience life differently.
